CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

mlWARNING: The chain will be

moving during most of this procedure=

Wear your protective equipment and

observe all safety precautions. The

chain must not move at idle speed.

The carburetor has been carefully set

at the factory. Adjustments may be

necessary if you notice any of the fol-

lowing conditions:

• Chain moves at idle. See IDLE

SPEED-T adjusting procedure.

• Saw will not idle. See IDLE SPEED-T

adjusting procedure.

Idle Speed-T

Allow engine to idle. If the chain moves,

idle is too fast. If the engine stalls, idle is

too slow. Adjust speed until engine runs

without chain movement (idle too fast) or

stalling (idle too slow). The idle speed

screw is located in the area above the

primer bulb and is labeled T.

• Turn idle screw (T) clockwise to in-

crease engine speed.

• Turn idle screw (T) counterclockwise

to decrease engine speed.
